Simms traces the supermarket disease back to its American roots & charts the moment when the promise of choice turned into something altogether different. He show how supermarkets are draining the life from our town centres, creating a commercial nanny state that knows more about you than you think, profiting from shelves full of global plunder & unpicking the fabric of our communities. Simms ends with suggestions for change & rethinking big business.
